                            THE BASICS OF INTERNET

                      The Internet is a global network of connected computers and devices that share information
                      with each other. It allows people to communicate, access websites, send emails and use online
                      services from anywhere in the world. The Internet and the www are not the same thing.
                      What is the Internet?

                      The seed of the Internet was planted in 1969, when the Advanced Research Projects Agency

                      (ARPA) of the United States Department of Defense began connecting computers at different
                      universities and defense contractors. The resulting network was called ARPANET.
